As a foodie myself, I was so excited to see not one but two Carolina cities on the list of the Top US Foodie Cities in America. The coolest part is that I have eaten at a couple of these places too!

Charleston host one of my favorite steak houses of all time. Halls Chophouse is a must dine if you are ever in that neck of the woods.

The other Carolina town that I adore coming in at #1 is Asheville! I was recently in Asheville for Restaurant Week and I have a few new favorites. One of which made the list! Curate in Asheville is a Spanish Tapas restaurant that is worth writing home about! I even created a gallery (below) of our dining experience because the food was so amazing!
